Infidel begins with an unusually honest adventure-game premise: you are alone in the Egyptian desert because you treated everyone around you badly, and they finally left. You are a small-time explorer after a lost pyramid, your supplies are thin, the promised navigation equipment is late, and the only thing stronger than your panic is your conviction that the treasure ought to be yours. Michael Berlyn made the tomb a test of language as much as nerve—its hieroglyphics, chambers, and mechanisms ask you to learn the place on its own terms. It is archaeology without romance: hot, solitary, ingenious, and haunted by the fact that its protagonist may be the worst thing ever to enter the ruin.
